Apart from Marvan Atapattu and Mahela Jayawardena, this was an awful batting display. If it weren't for them, Sinhalese Sports Club would've ended up in a definite losing position. Gestetner Diamond Eagles did well to pull the innings back after their dismissal.

0.2  Mohammad Asif to Michael Klinger, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0) 
0.3  Mohammad Asif to Michael Klinger, Tucked away to the leg side, they're running hard, but only manage a single.  (1) 
0.4  Mohammad Asif to David Hussey, Hit hard but straight to the fielder, who fires a throw back in immediately. The batsmen try to scramble through for a single, but they're caught short! Brilliant fielding, and a wicket for the fielding side!

It was a two-man show for Somerset Sabres. Marcus Trescothick and Carl Gazzard were the only ones that fended off well, and played valuable knocks. Mick Lewis, Shane Harwood and Andrew McDonald proved to be difficult to play, and as a result, they bowled Somerset Sabres out for 168.

Nice to see Tresco finally stand and be counted, and also nice to see that we didn't need a contribution from the man in form Hildreth to post a competitive total although I am a bit disappointed that he didn't follow up his previous performances.
On to the final!
